Sentiment score
7.5
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud saves time and reduces costs, offering a rapid ROI and improved efficiencies with integrated platforms.
Sentiment score
7.6
SSIS is praised for cost-effective, efficient data management with significant savings, but users may switch with more budget.
It saves us the effort of having one to two data engineers managing the tasks that Fivetran handles.
Consequently, we adjusted our processes to use Matillion Data Productivity Cloud only for extraction and ingestion, while Snowflake handled all transformations and jobs.
The tool has made us tremendously more efficient and saved us a significant amount of money.
Using SSIS has proven cost-effective as there are no additional fees outside the SQL Server license, and it significantly enhances data management efficiency.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.2
Fivetran's support is responsive and effective, with enterprise plans offering especially timely assistance despite occasional delays.
Sentiment score
7.6
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud excels in service and support with fast response, comprehensive resources, and high customer satisfaction.
Sentiment score
6.0
Users rely on forums for SSIS issues; Microsoft support is mixed, with some finding response times and quality lacking.
If they could provide support more quickly, that would be great.
The technical support provided by Fivetran has generally been good, with a response time and competence that I would rate as good.
They communicate effectively and respond quickly to all inquiries.
The first line of support needs to be more knowledgeable.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Fivetran scales effectively for all business sizes with adaptable costs, handling large data well but may incur higher expenses.
Sentiment score
7.4
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud effectively scales with cloud resources and databases, though managing multiple nodes can be challenging.
Sentiment score
6.7
SSIS is scalable and excels in data integration, but efficiency varies with large datasets and real-time processing challenges.
Depending on the nature of data sets, volume, and mixture of different data, the scalability could be improved as manual code writing is still required.
The autoscale process works well, allowing the system to start another node automatically if the first machine reaches 80% capacity.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
Fivetran is praised for stability and reliability, with strong data accuracy, self-recovery, and minimal downtime, despite rare issues.
Sentiment score
7.9
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud is stable and effective, with responsive support; hardware or configurations occasionally cause issues.
Sentiment score
7.4
SSIS is generally praised for stability and reliability, though some users note issues and the need for strong infrastructure.
They have 99.9% accuracy on the data load and they maintain transparency.
During the duration of the time that we used Fivetran, it was highly stable.
It processes large volumes of data quickly.
 

Room For Improvement

Fivetran needs to improve database connections, user interface, data security, documentation, monitoring, cost efficiency, and customer support.
Matillion needs frequent API updates, improved UI, better documentation, more integrations, enhanced scalability, and real-time data capture.
SSIS needs improved scalability, data source support, real-time processing, cloud integration, and user-friendly interfaces for better performance.
From a cost perspective, if the number of connectors is lesser, then Fivetran is not the most cost-efficient option.
Fivetran could improve by adapting more for technical users and by providing more options for such users.
If Fivetran can build in more transformations, that would be really helpful in my opinion.
Connections to BigQuery for extracting information are complex.
The main areas for improvement are AI features and scalability.
Within the South African context, if you are getting your enterprise agreement from First Technology, they don't provide support.
SSIS has a difficult learning curve when dealing with complex transformations.
The logging capabilities could be improved, particularly for error logging.
 

Setup Cost

Fivetran's pricing is seen as costly and complex, with negotiable discounts, auto-renewal issues, and tiered benefits for large enterprises.
Matillion's pricing is competitive, flexible, and cost-effective, with discounts for annual commitments and strategic instance management.
SSIS offers a cost-effective ETL solution for enterprises using Microsoft, enhancing affordability by integrating with SQL Server licenses.
Our current yearly contract for Fivetran is approximately $70,000.
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud offers discounts and special deals, especially when dealing with high-volume clients or fewer existing clients in specific regions, like Spain.
The pricing is moderate, neither expensive nor cheap.
Utilizing SSIS involves no extra charges beyond the SQL Server license.
It was included in our licensing for SQL server, and our licensing for SQL server was extremely cheap, making it a very good price point for us.
 

Valuable Features

Fivetran offers seamless data integration with ease of use, robust connectors, real-time replication, and integration with dbt for efficiency.
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud enhances ETL processes with user-friendly tools, automation, and security for efficient, scalable data management.
SSIS provides user-friendly drag-and-drop functionality, excellent integration, scalability, cost-efficiency, and robust data transformation features.
The most valuable feature of Fivetran is its built-in connectors for a wide range of data sources.
The real-time data replication is what I see best in the market where it reduces the overhead of customers needing to maintain the pipeline.
The ability to seamlessly integrate with a large variety of data sources is valuable.
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity.
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud is effective for ingest functions, particularly when moving information to Snowflake and performing many transformations.
I would rate it at a 10 as it is highly reliable; we have never had any problems with it.
One of the best aspects of SSIS is that it is built into Microsoft SQL Server, so there are no additional costs involved.
SSAS is included in the base installation of SQL Server.

Featured Reviews

Vigneswar Jeyaraj - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time data replication and integration streamline processes and enhance productivity
The most valuable feature of Fivetran so far is the data replication. The real-time data replication is what I see best in the market where it reduces the overhead of customers needing to maintain the pipeline. Even when an error occurs, it automatically tries to solve the issue without manual interaction needed. The effectiveness of Fivetran's pre-built connectors in enhancing my customer's productivity is significant because everything is easily configurable. The documentation is very clear, so there's no difficulty in finding the necessary steps. Everything is pre-documented. The pre-built connectors that are available are excellent. Most functionalities are covered, and in most cases, it works according to expectations.
Jitendra Jena - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy integration and workflow proposals streamline processes
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity. If you have a predefined connector, it is easy to use with plug and play functionality. The processing time and ease of use are significant benefits. As everyone is moving into AI integration, it will definitely help. When creating workflows, they can propose solutions directly.
Chris Farris - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly interface facilitates efficient data migration and reduces operational overhead
Its usability and ease of use are standout features. It is really easy to use - almost too easy at times. Users don't have to be experts to use their tool set and utilize the clicking mechanisms, drop down boxes, and other features to build a package and run it. The configuration is very easy and the system is very stable. I would rate it at a 10 as it is highly reliable; we have never had any problems with it. Very little maintenance is required on my side. While you need to keep the product up to date, the maintenance requirements are minimal. SSIS integrates with all Microsoft tools seamlessly. We have used it against Oracle, DB2 and SQL. It integrates and can move data around from any data platforms, making it very diverse in that standpoint. It is a very robust tool that can work with many data sources, and its main strength is that it is extremely easy to use.
